Vegan Gains thinks that Ronnie was Natural when he first turned pro

[Royalty]

...and that Ronnie only took steroids “later on”. Vegan Gains used a picture from 2003/2004 to support his claim. Go to 7:40

Ronnie never used steroids.

Guy just had superior genetics.

[Rascal full]

I can believe Ronnie might not have been using Insulin or GH when he turned pro but no way was he totally natty.

Ronnie was always natural, and so was Leah Remini

This. Myostatin deficiency combined with heavy weights and intense training.

I think he may have been, he is a genetic freak.

Seems like his videos get something like 40K views on average, down from probably more like 120K views before.

That's a pretty big decline, and subsequent decline in YouTube revenue.

At least his channel is still monetized.

he won the tested World Champs in 1991 to get his pro card...

I'm pretty sure it's the new Youtube rules that are killing some of the old timers channels, plus the real lack of good gossipy subjects. Vegan Gains vs Blaha did pretty good numbers, and so did Palumbo vs Chick. But for the most part, I think many are scared of the anti-bullying measures Youtube put in during the summer.

Also I can't think of any good gossip this year aside from Flex's leg, Larry Wheels's girl problems, Palumbo vs Chick, Kenny Ko vs Buendia, and maybe 1 or 2 others.

Wait til the Rhoden rape case starts

[a_pupil]

vegan gains seemed like the epitome of autism when he started

but somehow that tufano guy is even worse. he looks like the count from sesame street as well.

Wait til the Rhoden rape case starts

True, I forgot that for a sec, certainly the biggest thing this year.

If you look at the way Ronnie got into bodybuilding it's not hard to think he is some genetic freak. Unlike many bodybuilders, he had a good job, reason to live, and seemed half way smart. College educated even...

Also, why lie about not taking steroids? Most liars simply pull the old lines like The Rock or something and totally bullshit the answer. Even Arnold, a politician, lied about using drugs earlier in his career but not later. That sounds better to the "masses", but saying you used to be natural, and then started using drugs, is self-incriminating.

[myosaurus]

this vegan gain idiot sounds like he only eats vegetables that looks like cock, like cucumber, eggplant, banana.... holy shit what's with that tone of voice?

Ronnie would have been natural when he first went to Metroflex gym. He didn't know much about bodybuilding and his genetic potential shows how far he went once he hit the juice.

As for after that, watch the Tom Platz video's from 1995. When Tom Platz asks Ronnie if he's had any issues from all the shit he's taken he laughs and says how he almost had Insulin Shock on a plane etc. He'd clearly been using for a number of years then, from a physique standpoint and also his reaction in the video.

So much for all those Muscle Mayhem guys always saying Ronnie was natural up to 1995  . He might have done 1-2 contests natural but he was fucking 4th in the 1992 nationals behind Levrone and Flex, he wasn't doing that without some serious juicing time.

he won the tested World champs a few weeks later to get his pro card, and it was 91 not 92

All that means is that he stopped taking the drugs prior to the drug test. Some drugs will be undetectable within a few days.
